FULL ANALYSIS

Carolina's Aho (52G/78P) and Jarvis (32G) feast on Chicago's injury-crippled D (Grzelcyk, Levshunov, Moore, 2 IR D-men out). Model projects Hurricanes 68% win (3.3-2.2 score) vs -180 ML breakeven. Chicago reliant on Bedard (42G/72P) but Canes PK neutralizes. Poor data quality caps all at toss-up tier.
